That the system that. We have to deal deal with the I. Partly responsible for opt out of correction -- this about it rather than take it seriously because I knew I had done it all. Kind of crap joke about it optic and attend but in the negatives. The judge who's responsible for my conviction is there. Six of the people testify at all that plot against -- -- that -- ballot but the arm of the trial. One after that was ridiculous statement that million dollar some small arm. I'm not a one great wonderful thought it was ridiculous statement that keep the ship on the employee and -- That's the kind of people that they used that let me.
